Remove the reference to seconds where talking about the I/O counters -- they have nothing to do with seconds! Another important thing to note (although this is mentioned in the article) is that I/O numbers include network traffic. This means for example that webbrowsers will score high numbers, even though they may not be the applications that are causing all the disk activity. Yes, I also agree.

I didn't realise (hadn't looked) that taskman could show those perfmon stats. Just worked out what was caning my disk this morning (Symantec AV downloading half a gif of new AV defs by the looks of it!) I agree with Geoff that you can't really can interchange Bytes/s and Total Bytes. It's either one or the other, the article needs a small edit there as it is confusing. :-) Hi – very useful article, thanks.

That's correct, reads & writes are measured in operations/sec and the number Task Manager displays is from last boot-up to present.
